Miami, FL - July 23, 2001 - The San Carlos Institute, a historical landmark of Key West, has awarded Roatan, a South Florida manufacturer of custom-made solid mahogany wood doors, windows and millwork, the prestigious project of restoring its famous building. The Institute was founded in 1871 by Cuban exiles that came to Key West to organize the campaign for Cuba's independence from Spain.
“We feel honored that the San Carlos Institute has placed its trust in Roatan,” said Robert de León, President of Roatan. As a virtually unknown, emerging company, Roatan sought out the expertise of Diaz & Cooper (DCA) to launch a major marketing campaign. DCA designed a campaign to not only win the San Carlos project but to earn recognition for the company's abilities as an elite manufacturer.
